Unfortunately, in reviews CLAM does not seem to do too well on Windows. Lack of resident scan is a problem, (yeah, OK, I know people here will say it's because of Win's 'inherent' vulnerabilites, that Linux 'does not have have'..let's no go there, eh?). But all is not lost, since AVAST and other 'free' solutions exist, (decent firewalls too). Since user interaction is much reduced with these types of products, (as compared to 'office' stuff), that's a reasonable solution methinks. Or just stick with your existing AV, since it's not really a 'core' app. (People will change from Norton to NOD32 in a heartbeat if I tell 'em to - and I do - but try telling them to use OpenOffice instead of Excel and you've got a real debate on yer hands). Anyways, interesting parent post and surely a step on from the *x boot cd, (which remains a useful option for initial doubters).
Probably for the same reason that your current one got modded down too...
DARPA does not finance things for the fun of it - they get first refusal on any technologies developed.
With the well-documented move of big corporations, and even universites, away from 'primary' research, it's good that the state (in whatever form) stil finances this sort of stuff. Most of the recent wealth in the USA was built on intellectual capital - we can't make most stuff cheaper than the Chinese. Everybody in the economy benefits from this greater wealth, albeit some more than others.
Plenty of reasons:
1. Price (of final part)
2. Manufacturing complexity (also linked to price)
3. Usage of final component (flexibility of application).
Note that even makers of high-end GPUs / graphics cards(where price is less important) still use traditional methods of cooling.
Hash totals, that kinda stuff. Whenever design a system to collect & roll-up data for reporting, put in some basic controls to validate the data - both how it is collected & how it is calculated.
Saves red faces.
As for the 'up' or 'down' stuff - take a look at some basic stats if you're not familiar. There's plenty of sources on the interweb. Many 'rises' and 'falls' are not significant, just noise.
People wonder why banks etc. are required by law to keep paper copies of transactions securely stored for years.
This is why.
Similar debate as to paper record for voting machines....
I guess you're in the US? Based on what I hear, you guys really get screwed-over by the cellular operators.
Here in Europe, reasonable competition has ensured reasonable prices.
As for the devices - well, I've got a Blackberry Pearl, and whilst the camera does not take great pictures, and the email, mp3,video etc. features will likewise not beat dedicated devices, it's a price I'm happy to pay to just carry one device. Works OK for making calls, too!
I've got Google maps on my phone - does not replace the GPS but useful in emergency.
Perhaps the real interest here is the growing development of applications based around the modern cellphone's unique features:
1. Nearly everyone has at least one, (increasingly in 'third world' countries too), and carries it all the time.
2. It's increasingly a computer, (mail, calendar..) and media-player as well as a communications device.
3. It can be located, (but this is illegal in most countries).
Today, people are watching TV on their phones and using them as payment devices.
Organisations are buying tracking information from the phone companies (individual's information supposedly not available), in order to better understand ppultion concentration and movement. See here http://reality.media.mit.edu/ for example.
Why would Google NOT be interested in getting into this stuff?
Even the very latest and best Office program does not spell-check/. sigs.

Good link. For those who don't know..
An 'ipfilter.dat' file can block IPs from certain companies and agencies you may not want spying on you. And here's how to install it manually.
1)Rename a blank.txt file to-> ipfilter.dat
2)Download an IP Filter List off a security website ( see parent ) and copy its contents into your ipfilter.dat. You may have to Right Click->Open With->Notepad .
3)Copy it to "C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\uTorrent\" .
4)In uTorrent Options->Preferences->Advanced. Change ipfilter.enable to true .
5)Restart uTorrent
I have people coming to me every day with problems. After a while, you just feel like 'shooting the messenger', even if it's wrong.
Why not sit down & think about how you could fix this, and then suggest this to your boss? If he still blows you off, at least you've managed to document the problem & CYA in a positive way... Send a copy of the document by internal mail & keep a copy of everything at home, or better still at a non-obvious location.
You are a programmer / app developer, who reports to a Sales Manager, and have to write an Accounting app?
But the users can't explain what they do?
Easy - look for another job.
More seriously, plenty of good advice has been already given. My 2c.
1. Map out the process flow wih the users. NOT what they THINK happens, but what really DOES. Also at this time collect key information such as volumes, number of users...
2. Determine how it could be improved, even without some kind of IT support.
3. Then, map out how a system could help (your job here is to make users aware of possibilites & constraints)
Keep it as SIMPLE as possible. Go for the minimum functionality required to do the job.
4. Prototype your work & data flow, then you can work out your DB structure, core logic and I/O.
5. Storyboard it, with dummy screens & reports (suggest you do not waste time writing any code yet).
6. Once everybody has signed off, you can get to work. Keep the users involved regularly, (once per week). Keep asking &checking "is this OK"? But avoid scope & function creep.
Finally, dont forget to select tools & architectures that make it easy to add function later, & for easy end-user reporting. The ones you select will depend on your experience & environment, of course...
Hmmm, depends. Might not be that easy to get rid of all liability by creating a 'shell' company & selling it off.

Some fairly scary clauses in there...
Already here - avian flu, drug-TB...plus many hospitals now are infested with unkillable 'superbugs'.
Me? I can wait - all the severe infections these drug-resistant bugs give you are very nasty ways to die.
Well, not really. Define 'success'. Do you mean 'succeeded' for Apple? They make money from the hardware, not the songs. Succeeded for the labels? Nope. Don't earn anything either. Succeeded for the artists? Urm, no again.
Just about the only people it succeeded for was the average (not tech-savy) user. iTunes DRM works fine for them, (even though the vast majority of content being listened to on iPods is pirate). Just don't expect to hear that point of view expressed here.
Oh, and are they upset about DRM? Nah, either my kids swap files by burning CDs, or they ask Dad to fix it...
Right. "That which is free is worth nothing".
So many times my AVs (plural) NOD & Kasp. have triggered when receicing files via USB key from clients with Avast & AVG.

Martian gravity is 1/3 of Earth wheras the Moon is 1/6, so looks like they've got to shed 50% weight right out of the box...

Yup - that's what most modern CEOs do...
Thanks for making me laugh - you're already at 5 so I'll just say it.
